Impact Report 2025

Building momentum for the next phase

Message from our Board and Fund Manager

Across our markets, the need for scalable green investment remains urgent:
•    Businesses need reliable power to operate
•    Financial institutions need practical solutions for their clients
•    Countries need investment that can strengthen local energy systems

This is where GGF continues to play an important role. As a platform for green investment, we support the energy transition were it is needed most. This role has been built over 15 years of climate investment, and our long-term commitment to our markets, our partners, and our investors. In 2025, this commitment was reflected by strong support from our partners and visibility at major events.

At the EU-Western Balkans Investment Forum in Tirana, attended by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, the EU invested €20 million in GGF’s C-share class, alongside €4 million in advisory & capacity building support via KfW Development Bank. This support helps us scale climate action across the Western Balkans.

In Kyiv, during a BMZ ministerial visit, GGF also held signings for two new renewable energy projects to support Ukraine’s green recovery and energy resilience. These moments show the momentum behind the Fund as we enter the next phase. The growth of direct finance allows us to work directly with companies and infrastructure partners where the energy transition is being delivered. The stories in this report show how this evolution is taking shape.

In Ukraine, our investment with GOLDBECK supports local renewable energy generation at a time when energy security is critical.
In Albania, our partnership with Vega Energy is helping to accelerate the delivery of solar infrastructure across the Western Balkans.
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, we are working with our financing partner, MCC Partner, to provide operational support to small family businesses.
In Moldova, our €10 million deal with Microinvest continues to bring green finance to businesses and households.
In Türkiye, we continued to support green infrastructure and energy transition initiatives through direct and indirect investments.

Finance in Motion’s investment expertise and local presence remain central to this progress. We will continue to gain momentum in 2026, supported by the continued trust of our shareholders and partners.

The energy transition does not need more proof of concept. The technologies work, the demand is there, and the need for action is clear. What is needed now is finance that can scale implementation quickly and effectively. GGF exists to close that gap. We help bring proven solutions to market by mobilizing investment, supporting local financial institutions, and expanding access to reliable and resilient energy. We focus on practical outcomes, turning viable projects into tangible impact. The project examples in this report show how climate finance can accelerate deployment, strengthen resilience, and help deliver the transition at the scale the moment demands.

For GGF, direct finance is about working closer to where the energy transition is being delivered. From decentralized solar in Ukraine to utility-scale solar capacity across the Western Balkans, we are supporting partners who can turn ambition into operating infrastructure.

Advisory and Capacity Building highlights

GGF’s Advisory and Capacity Building (A&CB) activities managed via the Technical Assistance Facility (TAF) in 2025 focused on helping financial institutions and other partners to set-up and strengthen their sustainability strategies and green finance ambitions.


Among the key priorities was the continued support for Deep Greening initiatives with several partner banks in Egypt, as well as the launch of new Deep Greening projects in other countries of operation. These initiatives support the greening of financial institutions by developing green lending frameworks. building institutional capacity and strengthening environmental and social management systems.

The A&CB work also extended to a number of investments related and enabling projects, as well as initiatives supporting capacity building and sector-wide learning and exchange. The facility supported events across its regions of operation with leading banking or sector organisations, creating platforms to share practical experience on green lending and sustainability integration. Discussions included also supervisory approaches to climate risk, portfolio decarbonization, and evolving ESG reporting requirements These sessions helped connect institutional change with wider market development.

 

With it’s A&CB GGF is helping financial institutions become stronger engines of climate action and long-term resilience. These initiatives show how advisory support can help shift green finance from policy to practice.

In 2025, the Fund’s Advisory and Capacity Building Facility focused on helping financial institutions turn green finance ambitions into practical action. The Facility managed 158 projects with a total budget of EUR 8.7 million. I would particularly highlight the progress of our Deep Greening support to banks in Egypt and the Green Finance Expert Course, which strengthened the capacity of banking staff from partner financial institutions. These efforts are helping financial institutions become stronger drivers of climate action while enhancing long-term resilience across our target regions. Our Facility is well equipped to deepen this impact in the years ahead.
